I believe in giving children the real unsanitised versions of things, they like them better anyway!

I couldn't agree more! I don't know if I was just a particularly ghoulish child, but I loved spooky, creepy things as a kid! When I was ten, all the other little girls dressed up as princesses and fairies for Halloween. I was the grim reaper. :P

That sounds like a nice celebration! But then, any celebration involving fried foods is always fantastic in my book. (You know, I don't get hangovers, either! *high fives you* I wonder what it is that some people get them while others don't?)

Perhaps the novelty of being the only authentically Irish blokes around? :P
